Footballers "overwhelmingly" want to carry on taking the knee to the awful Black Lives Matter. Because they really care about George Floyd. Yeah right. The fans overwhelmingly are sick and tired of this mindless virtue-signalling ritual. But who cares what the fans think eh?

BLM is an important thing (in the US), but it is political and football should not be participating if it isn't prepared to engage with the political discussion surrounding it.
None of those overpaid millionaires face the oppression they are kneeling against and it is a pathetic and empty gesture from football.

None of those overpaid millionaires face the oppression they are kneeling against and it is a pathetic and empty gesture from football. It’s a strange thing. In the US it started with Colin Kapernick protesting the national anthem. It was a way of standing out from what everyone else was doing. Over here it’s the opposite it’s just everyone falling in line and copying everyone else. There’s nothing original about it. I get people wanting to stop racism, but this is just meaningless drivel. They just looking like they’re doing something without actually having to make a difference. |

I'm not going to a game as long as our players do this shite.
It goes without saying I'm happy for the club to make meaningful efforts to combat racism, but it's pathetic virtue signalling.
BLM in the UK has been hijacked by left wing militants. It should be nowhere near football. There are already existing anti racism bodies that should be properly funded and supported

Once crowds are let back into grounds, this taking the knee shit will soon stop.
I read the other day that some people are withdrawing their Sky Sports subscription because they are fed up to the back teeth with Sky's over the top BLM agenda. If this protest gathers pace, Sky will soon drop it if it costs them revenue.

If this protest gathers pace, Sky will soon drop it if it costs them revenue. Mate. Its not just BLM. There's a whole fucking movement brewing which is aimed at stifling free speech. I take facebook first and foremost. I'm currently under a 3 day restriction. A mate of mine looks as Nordic as they come, chiselled features, blond haired & blue eyed. All I said was ''Happy birthday to the last member of the Hitler youth movement'' as a joke, and he would've grinned & left it there. Instant restriction on posting. Then you get the BBC with their poxy warnings before every programme that some soft twat could be offended. Their double standards grip my shit. It's ok to have that David Walliams taking the mick out of elderly people by having a sketch of him dressed as an old lady pissing herself in a supermarket, or his fat bald mate in a wheelchair when he's not even disabled, yeah it's funny, but why show that but you can't watch 'it ain't half hot mum' because he says ''poof''? Its because those Little Britain fella's are their darlings....and don't get me started on MOTD, more fucking women than blokes on it nowadays. Channel 5 getting a black actress to play Anne Boleyn. Mixed race couples on every other advert. All agenda pushing in the media, because there's literally no other option other than turning it off. George Orwell was right, just a few decades off. |
